Globalization: How strategic alliances bring production and market advantages The case of Renault/Nissan Professor Jean-Jacques CHANARON GATE-CNRS & Grenoble Ecole de M anagement TII Annual Conference Gatehead-Newcastle Hilton 27th April 2006 Introduction It is very surprising that when presenting to all employees as well as the press, his —Renault Contract 2009“ strategic plan, Carlos Ghosn, the CEO since May 2005, did not emphasize the potential contribution of the deal with Nissan in the future revival of the corporation. Is it because he did not want to upset such a key partner when presenting it as a subsidiary? Is it because he was committed to motivate the Renault employees to contribute to such revival plan? Or is it simply because the alliance did not achieve its main target: gaining market share by aquiring a rival? Golding (2006) seems to support this last statement when emphasizing that —strategy of growth by conquest has fallen firmly out of favor“.

Renault Latitude's poised, elegant styling is underpinned by its balanced proportions, with a front end that expresses power, and robust, dynamic lines for the rear. Its generous dimensions permit a spacious, convivial cabin, inside which rear passengers benefit from segment- topping kneeroom (251mm). Aimed at customers who value quality and comfort in every sense of the words, Renault Latitude places the accent very much on the wellbeing of its occupants. Features include a brand new, relaxing air-purifying ioniser, as well as a new four-mode massage driver's seat. Thanks to the availability of touring engines like the new V6 dCi 240, as well as a multi-link rear suspension arrangement engineered to deliver a perfect compromise between comfort and handling, Renault Latitude takes the strain out of longer-haul journeys.

  • New Renault Laguna Dynamic, Efficient and Modern
    PRESS RELEASE November 11, 2010 NEW RENAULT LAGUNA DYNAMIC, EFFICIENT AND MODERN In keeping with its values, Renault manufactures vehicles that match the brand’s exacting standards in the fields of design, innovation and quality. Following its first public airing at the 2010 Paris Motor Show in October, New Renault Laguna builds on the strengths that have forged the reputation of the Laguna III line-up, namely: • Outstanding handling thanks to the 4Control chassis with four-wheel steering • An unrivalled price/equipment/performance package for the segment, • Superior safety, quality and reliability for its class. New Renault Laguna's more attractive front-end styling and new interior trims exude even more personality, in perfect keeping with the model's exceptional dynamics. The exclusive 4Control chassis with four-wheel steering is now available with practically all the engines that make up the range, putting safe driving enjoyment within reach of even more motorists. Meanwhile, the availability of advanced features such as Carminat TomTom® LIVE navigation and Bose® Sound System audio make New Renault Laguna an even more modern and attractive package than ever. The model's Renault eco² engines are even more respectful of the environment. The dCi 110, for example, emits just 120g of CO2/km, while special care has been taken to bring down running costs, thanks notably to an average 0.5 litres/100km fuel consumption saving across the range. New Renault Laguna comes with a three-year/150,000km warranty and goes on sale this month. CONTENTS 01 More dynamic styling 02 Driving pleasure 03 Modern through and through 04 Travelling comfort 05 Quality et safety: Laguna fundamentals 2 01 MORE DYNAMIC STYLING New Renault Laguna's more assertive front-end styling – which features 'eyelid' headlights with black masks as standard, as well as additional chrome trimming for the new pearlescent black grille – gives the model an unmistakably more dynamic stance.
